Working boats

Although like most people my photos are hypnotised by gondolas and the like, the waterways of Venice are bustling with working craft of all sorts shapes and sizes. Everything gets done by water - post, refuse, fire brigade. This is out in the open waters of the lagoon, to add more of a splash. The skyline of San Marco is a mere backdrop to daily life

I absolutely love seeing working boats thudding through the water like this. Good texture on the water. Like the little splash at the bottom right (accident, but fun).

The boat looks like it has a little personality.

Do many people drown in Venice?
